Price list with id: ${id} was not found

Error message

Price list with id: ${id} was not found

What it means

Thrown by the fetchPriceList helper when a remoteQuery for the price list id returns no present record. It is used by price-list routes to refetch after mutations; a missing/soft-deleted price list produces this NOT_FOUND error.

Solutions

  1. Confirm the price list exists with GET /admin/price-lists/:id and handle the 404 gracefully
  2. If it was deleted, recreate it or stop referencing it
  3. Audit custom code for hardcoded price list ids after data resets/seeding

Example fix

// before
await sdk.admin.priceList.update(plId, { prices })

// after
try {
  await sdk.admin.priceList.update(plId, { prices })
} catch (e) {
  if (e.statusCode === 404) return // price list gone; nothing to update
  throw e
}
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

const { price_lists } = await sdk.admin.priceList.list()
if (!price_lists.some((p) => p.id === plId)) throw new Error(`Missing price list ${plId}`)

Type guard

const isPriceList = (v: unknown): v is HttpTypes.AdminPriceList =>
  !!v && typeof v === "object" && "id" in v && "prices" in v

Try / catch

try {
  return await updatePriceList(id, patch)
} catch (e: any) {
  if (e.statusCode === 404) return null // already deleted
  throw e
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Any admin price-list route that refetches after update/delete (or GET via this helper) with an id that does not exist or was deleted.

Common situations: Continuing to operate on a price list deleted in another tab or by another admin, expired price lists being cleaned up, or a typo'd id in custom scripts.
